NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Yorkers were urged to take shelter on Friday due to a tornado warning for the Bronx, just north of Manhattan, which was covered with dark skies and swirling clouds.
"The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning in the Bronx until 5:45 p.m.," the city said in a disaster alert service.
"People in these areas should take shelter. Stay in the lowest floor of your building, away from windows," the warning said.
New York City periodically gets hit by tornadoes but they are rarely as deadly as in the Midwest and South of the United States.
